We have been watching the discussion regarding our stance on the political geography of ASIA and considered your concerns. Thus, the recent information on our web sites has been corrected. As for reply to a customer’s support ticket, the penalties have been imposed for this violation. As a company we do not have a political stance, affiliation or agenda – our mission is to create great games. We sincerely apologize and will take steps to make sure our messaging remains apolitical in the future.

World of Warships and other games in our portfolio are about vehicles, their technologies and engineering, based in certain historical periods – not about the struggles of the nations who built them. In portraying our ships we draw on information from various sources, from blueprints to news articles and photographs – often from different places and periods. We want to depict them as close to their historical, real-life state as we can, in order to create a better sense of immersion and a stunning visual experience for our players. Whenever possible, this includes the flags and pennants they sailed under during the period the ship represents in the game. Time and again, this brings us into conflict with a part of our audience who raise concerns about these flags or the ships themselves in many different contexts. Our goal has always been to bring warships, naval combat and naval engineering closer to as many enthusiasts around the world as possible. We want to address these current concerns around the national affiliation of Pan-Asian nation branches as best we can for the majority of our audience, just as we have done with similar issues in the past.

Therefore, we will replace the flags on all Pan-Asian ships with the neutral Pan-Asian nation flag upon the release of the upcoming destroyer line. We hope this will remove the controversy and allow players to focus on the ships, their characteristics and gameplay.

However, to allow our regional communities the ability to customize their World of Warships experience, we will also introduce a feature that will give players the option to replace the default flag on their ship with a different one, chosen from a preset number of different variants. You will be able to change the flag for each ship in your port separately and this choice will be reflected on each instance of that ship you see in the game. Each player will always see only the flags they have chosen for each ship, regardless of whether they are on the players’ own ship, an allied or an enemy ship. We are starting the development of this feature immediately and believe we can deliver it to you early in 2018.

We sincerely apologize for any distress or inconvenience this situation has caused to our players. We hope that you will find the solution satisfactory and can continue enjoying our massive naval battles with no other emotion than pure fun. We would also like to thank our community for raising the issue and helping to improve our game. Together we can make World of Warships even more epic!

To create a great game???What a joke! LOLThere is only one China in the world.Government of PRC is the sole government of China,and the sole representative of China in UN.Taiwan is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory.A peaceful reunification of the two side of Straits,is all Chinese people's unshakable will and determination,including people in Taiwan.As well,it's irreversible historical trend.The patriotic tradition has been existing in China for as long as thousands of years.We are capable enough,wise enough,and confident enough,to resist any foregin interference,and achieve the complete reunification of our motherland.世界上只有一个中国。中华人民共和国政府是中国的唯一政府，也是中国在联合国的唯一代表。台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。两岸和平统一都是 包括台湾民众在内的中国人的不可动摇的意志和决心，也是不可逆转的历史潮流。爱国传统在中国已存在了数千年之久。我们足够有能力，足够聪明，有足够自信，抵制任何干涉，实现祖国完全统一。

The key is not about what's kinds of flag.You can write "the Republic of China". But you cann't write "the Republic of China(Taiwan)"! It's means the Republic of China is Taiwan! It's wrong! The Republic of China is not Taiwan! Taiwan is a part of China!

Does this include the rising sun and the kriegsmarine flag with the swastika?Frankly, the rising sun flag gets under my skin a lot whenever I see it, but I choose to mod the flags so that it would reflect the accurate flag in game. I am a fan of historical accuracy and I hope you give an option to other players who want historically accurate flags in game.
